Drummer Scott Amendola is best known for touring the
world with The Charlie Hunter Quartet and for recording three albums with Hunter's
quartet for Blue Note records. Cry is Amendola's second effort as a leader and his
highly acclaimed group features guitarist Nels Cline, violinist Jenny Sheinman and
saxophonist Eric Crystal. Drawing from stylistic influences such as African music,
jazz, blues, spirituals, rock, and the avant garde, Scott's music ranges from
hard-hitting grooves to lush ballads. Amendola was nominated for a Grammy with the
band T.J. Kirk, and has recorded or performed with dozens of musicians, including
Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Tony Furtado, Noe Venable and Jacky Terrasson,
among many others. |
